Concussion Management
A concussion generally occurs when there is a mild injury to the brain without major rupture of blood vessels or physical visible damage to the brain tissue. How bad is a concussion, is sometimes difficult to determine in the very initial stages. It is important to give sufficient rest to the brain and avoid bright light Which can otherwise act as an irritant to the brain and thereby delay or affect recovery. When a person has a concussion, he or she may feel dizzy, nauseous and unwilling to participate in day-to-day activities. There may be some degree of short-term memory loss, difficulty in memory recall along with other signs such as wanting to sleep longer and have tendency to become lethargic.
Overview
Concussion management follows guidelines that allow for gradual return to sports and activities of day-to-day living based upon how the person is progressing at the current time. It is important to note that concussion management exercises consist of engaging the whole body in various routines and activities. It is also important to remember that concussion management consists of counselling and providing appropriate strategies to manage at home and outside the clinic. Along with medical management, it is important that proper physiotherapy is given so as to facilitate and allow the brain to heal and body to regain its function.
